General Rink Questions

Q: How do we buy skate tickets for General Admission?

A: General Admission skating is on a first come, first serve basis. You may purchase tickets for General Admission skating and rentals at our Skate House. If there is a line, everyone in your party must wait in line together to purchase tickets.
Our peak holiday season is from Friday November 7th through January 6th and during this time period, lines are likely to be long for all sessions. During the busy holiday season you should anticipate an approximate one hour wait. Please note that you do wait outdoors.
We recommend coming for our early 8:30 am – 10 am session if possible - lines are typically shortest first thing in the morning.
To avoid the lines completely, you may now make reservations to skate through our VIP SKATE or FIRST SKATE packages.

Q: I just want to skate - I don't want to purchase any special packages. How can I do this?

A: General Admission skating is always available, whenever the rink is open to the public. No reservations are necessary for General Admission and in fact, no reservations are accepted - all General Admission skating is on a first-come, first-served basis. You may purchase tickets for General Admission skating and rentals at our Skate House.

Q: The date that I want to reserve says "N/A"! Help!

A: For a variety of reasons, not all packages are available on all dates. Some of our packages are not offered at all during the busy month of December.

General Admission is always available, whenever the Rink is open to the public.
